Ok..well i just installed a video card in my computer (so that means i have 2, the new one and the one from my mobo) and its working fine. But to install that video card i had to disable the other one. (Open My computer, and under where it says system task press the one that says "view system information". The click on the hardware tab and and click the divice manager button. And then under the display adapter thing you can enable and disable them.) My new nVidia is enabled but my old one is disabled. Is all i have to do is press enable on the other one so i can set up a dual monitor display. Once the thing recognizes both video card i know what to do from there..... |

1. Right-click your Desktop, and from the menu which appears, click "Properites" (or "Personalize" for Vista users)
2. Open the tab marked "Settings" from the top of the window.
3. You should see two boxes in the grey area, marked 1 and 2. Click 2.
4. Finally, check the tab marked "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor."
5. Click OK or Apply, and your second monitor should display your desktop wallpaper, which can now be used for extra desktop space. |

ok well the other one is disabled...but if i enable it i wont have any problems will i?? |
